Post Performance Clinic at OATS

Hi there,

Just wondering if there was anybody else going on the 1 day Perf clinic on Feb 23rd, also if there is anyone who has been on this course, can they advise if it is worth the 100 spondoats?

Cheers

I really loved perf, so much in fact I thought I'd fail the first 2 attempts and get it on the third.... I detect sarcasm!!

I found perf a real struggle at PPSC and after my second failure had a 2 hr session with Pete Swatton which seemed to sort it all out in my head. I have it on good authority that Alex Whittingham (spelling??) does a good brushup at Bristol but don't know anything about OATS so couldn't possibly comment!

Too Many graphs especially when you look at what Perf stuff you actually use in the real world!!

Hope it all works out!

Chris Perry who teaches the clinic has a phenomenal grasp of the subject and is a more than excellent instructor.

...and no I don't work for OAT!

...also just to clarify, I haven't done the clinic, but did do the brushup last year with Chris teaching perf - I got 95% first time from having a v low expectation pre-brushup.

Talking

Got to agree with quidditch. Chris Perry of OATS does have an excellent & thorough understanding of the subject.

I did the 1 day clinic and passed 1st time in Nov. Thought it was the 2nd best £100 I've spent too!
